Impact

"Hi, how are you doing today?"
"Hey, what's up?"
"It's good to see you."
A smile, a hug. A minute of conversation. That's all it takes to make an impact in somebody's life. Many of us go through life wondering how we can make a difference in this world and don't know how. But we just need to realize it's so simple.

We are just so self-absorbed that we don't see the people around us. If we would just open our eyes and see the people around us hurting. In our campuses and work places we ignore the ignored and perpepuate the problem. As Christians this should horrify us. It does me. I went through a bout of depression as many people do and what brought me out of it wasn't something huge or momentus it was just a random acquaintance saying hello asking if I was alright.

When we do see these people we usual think "what can I do", and just ignore them. Apathy is deadly. All it takes is a smile and a sincere question and it will do wonders. Why we don't do this I'm not entirely sure but I hope we start to do it more often...
